RE: The Void is Coming - Claimants of Reality Enclave Lore Contest

Hi to the Scholar and Scribe Community. :)

Maybe I should lose a few words about the game. If I had to give it a category, it would be a text-based MMO rogue-lite RPG. You can read about the thoughts behind the game here https://peakd.com/@thatclaimgame, but to stick to the topic of writing, I don't even want to talk too much about the game mechanics but about the narrative aspect of the game.

For those who read choose-your-own-adventure books, this will seem vaguely familiar. You explore a world that is void, for the most part. You have encounters that lead to decisions and while I don't think I am a great writer, I try to give the world and the lore flavor. I think it opens a lot of opportunity for creativity, after all it is all text-based and all you need is the right words and ideas and our imagination should take care of graphics and rendering.

The world is still small, but with every new zone and every new encounter more content is added and through what I call campaigns, story events pushing the world forward, it is growing. For example, soon the second campaign will start, which involves settling the outskirts, which will likely change and evolve the zone. Yes, these outskirts about which you are supposed to write. ;)

So, if you are interested, I am looking forward to see you in the discord and I am looking forward to read your stories and, no promises (because I really don't like to give those) but I might work some of your stories into the actual game, where it makes sense and with your permission.

Thanks for stopping by! I'm sure people will have a swell time exploring the world you guys have created.
